DIY Monoblanc Upholstery

The Monocover by Tom de Vrieze Personalizes Plastic Chairs

— August 21, 2011 — Art & Design
For those of you who are sick of those ugly plastic outdoor chairs but don't want to invest in anything better now that the summer is slowly coming to a close, the Monocover by Tom de Vrieze offers a great solution. This do-it-yourself project allows you to revitalize the look of your monoblanc while also adding your own personal touch.

A simple step-by-step process, the instructions for the Monocover by Tom de Vrieze are available for just over $1. Although that price might be considered a little princely considering that you will still be tasked with doing all the work, it is still much cheaper than buying a whole new set of outdoor furniture. The project is a great way to jazz up boring plastic chairs.
